Mandrake's URPMI is as good as Apt-Get.

I don't know why everyone talks so much aout Apt-Get, and forgets about URPMI...as though it didn't exist.

URPMI installs RPM's _and_ even source RPM's...while it takes care of the dependencies.

If you use Mandrake do a "man URPMI" & see what it will do for you...you might be surprised.

I'll have to try that when my Mandrake 9.0 arrives.
